Bryce Harper Out With Illness
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (illness) is missing the team's first full-squad spring training workout on Monday because he's under the weather. In addition, shortstop Trea Turner (personal) remains away from the team after his wife recently had a baby. Turner is expected back on the field on Wednesday. The 32-year-old Harper should be back on the field sooner than later this week. The two-time MVP and eight-time All-Star has taken to the move to first base well and he managed his fifth 30-homer season in 2024 while also slashing .285/.373/.525 with an .898 OPS, 87 RBI, seven stolen bases and 85 runs scored in 631 plate appearances and 145 games played, his most since 2019 in his first year in Philly. Fantasy managers should treat Harper as a top-five fantasy first baseman heading into his seventh year with the Phils.
